Spider-Man Helmer Plans Explorers Film

Jon Watts, the “Cop Car” helmer who was recently hired as director of the upcoming “Spider-Man” reboot, is set to co-write and direct a project currently going by the title of “The Untitled Urban Explorers” at End Cue.

End Cue, who worked with Watts on “Cop Car”, has closed a pitch deal in competition on the young-adult adventure project which Watts and Christopher Ford will pen. Set under NYC’s Lower East Side, specifics of the story are being kept under wraps.

Watts and Ford will deliver the script at a later date and timing of this new project will work around Watts’ schedule in resuscitating the “Spider-Man” franchise
